WATER & WETLANDS

FERC - 101 - Free Classes


"The greatest potential impacts of construction 

on surface waters would result from an increase 
in sediment loading and turbidity."

"The proposed Project would involve impacts at approximately 310 waterbody locations. 

A dry crossing technique, which minimizes turbidity, would be used at approximately 251 waterbody crossings. 

Impacts would be relatively minor and would be further minimized by implementation of Dominion’s ESCP.

Construction of the proposed Project would impact 7.3 acres of wetlands while
operations would permanently affect a little more than 0.4 acres. 

The proposed Project has been designed to avoid impacts on wetlands when feasible, and otherwise minimize impacts on wetlands. 

Most impacts would occur during construction and would be mitigated during Project restoration in accordance with the applicable wetland encroachment permits from the USACE, the PADEP and the WVDEP, and Dominion's ESCP."
